Alcohol and Pre-op Diet

[BuriedBombshell 63]

Can we have alcohol during the liquid diet phase. I don't need a lecture, I'm just curious. My 1-week starts Friday.

I wasn't on a liquid preop, but my first week I did have a glass of wine. I would advise against it if you are on a pure liquid diet, nothing to soak it up with. Plus it stores as fat and that is why you are on the diet is to shrink a fatty liver.

I would think not... Just because of calories and carbs. and might not be good for the liver that they are trying to "shrink" before surgery.

the alcohol will affect your liver directly- dont take any chances
